Think Donald Trump doesn't have any real policy solutions? Read "Time To Get Tough"



Via Breitbart:

[...]Among Trump’s many bestselling, anecdote-filled books, Time to Get Tough (originally published in 2011) stands out as his most penetrating, serious, and detailed enunciation of his political philosophy and policy views. Trump says the it’s the “best book I’ve ever written” and is “better than The Art of the Deal.” Trump added, “It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked on a book. And it’s the most thought I’ve ever put into a book.”
It’s easy to see why. Backed up with nearly 250 endnotes, citing everything from Government Accountability Institute (GAO) reports to Sherman Antitrust Act amendments to the Theory of Moral Sentiments, Trump’s book clearly lays out serious policy solutions to vexing U.S. problems. Welfare reform, cyberwarfare, energy, illegal immigration and crime, taxes, healthcare, national defense—you name it, Trump offers his plans, often including specific bills and amendments. Best of all, Trump does it all in his refreshingly blunt and authentic voice—the very voice now resonating with a citizenry fed up with the Political Class and its conceits.[...]

New Poll: Voters Very Pessimistic About Obama's policies

62 percent of voters say Obama’s policies will increase the debt, 48 percent think they will lead to more joblessness and 58 percent say Obama’s policies will result in gasoline prices increasing. Also, 49 percent expect to see SCOTUS strike down Obamacare.

Via The Hill:
Half of likely voters expect the Supreme Court to strike down President Obama’s signature healthcare law, and strong majorities see other major policies coming from the White House making life more difficult for themselves and the country, according to this week’s The Hill Poll.

The poll indicated that 49 percent of likely voters said they expect a court ruling that is unfavorable to the Affordable Care Act, while just 29 percent think it will be upheld and 22 percent aren’t sure.

On economic issues, 62 percent of voters say Obama’s policies will increase the debt, while 25 percent think they will cut it, and by a 48-percent-to-38-percent margin, voters believe those policies will increase joblessness rather than put people back to work.

On energy, 58 percent say Obama’s policies will result in gasoline prices increasing, while just 20 percent expect them to cut prices — and by a 46-percent-to-36-percent margin, voters believe they will cause the United States to become even more dependent on foreign oil. Keep on reading...

In honor of Google's no opt-out privacy policy, what does Google's ad server think you are?


Click here and Google will tell you what age and sex they think you are. Plus there is information about what they think you are interested in. Google believes I am a 65+ male based on the websites I have been visiting. I am actually in my early 50's. At least I know why I am seeing those insurance ads. They see my interests as arts and entertainment (Online Image Galleries and video), news, politics, campaigns and travel. They got that part right.

Is Obama's Iran Policy Collapsing?


Is Obama's Iran Policy Collapsing? Many people are asking this question. Iran is beck-peddling and delaying on the deal they reached in Vienna. They now want a new deal which actually rolls back pre-existing UN sanctions. A senior Western diplomat involved in the Iran negotiations said.
“It’s like Groundhog Day, except in Groundhog Day you wake up every day and everything’s the same. With this, you wake up every day and everything’s just a little bit worse.”

Times Online reported:
Today, however, with just hours until the deadline, Iran has turned the table on its foreign interlocutors with a rival proposal, demanding that it be allowed to buy higher enriched uranium directly from abroad....
